In the swift sphere of Web3, a single malicious transaction may cause irreversible losses. One wrong address or an interaction with a compromised smart contract can drain funds instantly, and businesses may have no way to recover them.
The stakes are high. Platforms process thousands of transactions each month and their users expect security as a must. This is why exchanges, tokenisation platforms and other digital asset businesses are making real time transaction screening an essential part of their operations.
Liminal has partnered with CUBE3, a real-time fraud prevention and risk intelligence platform for digital assets, payments, and financial services, to integrate advanced transaction screening into its wallet infrastructure. This integration ensures that every transaction, whether from a hot wallet, cold wallet, or API, is checked and verified before it reaches the blockchain.
What is Transaction Screening
Transaction screening is best understood as an airport security checkpoint for digital assets. Just as passengers and luggage are screened before boarding, transactions are scanned before they are approved on the chain.
Before funds leave a wallet, the system verifies:
- If the destination address is safe and trusted
- If the destination smart contract is secure and verified
- If the address has been linked to scams, phishing, or hacks in the past
This process prevents high risk interactions from taking place. The screening can block a payment to a malicious address, stop a transfer to a contract with vulnerabilities, or flag an address involved in suspicious activities.
The value of screening is not limited just to stopping bad transactions. It also gives businesses confidence that they are engaging only with trusted counterparties and compliant destinations. For platforms handling large transaction volumes, it’s a core operational safeguard.
Risks Without Screening
Operating without transaction screening is a significant risk in the Web3 environment. The challenges go far beyond a single incident or fraud.
- Permanent loss of funds: Blockchain transactions are final. If assets are sent to the wrong or fraudulent address, there is no recovery.
- Regulatory exposure: Engaging with sanctioned or high risk addresses can create compliance breaches and legal issues.
- Damage to trust: A single security incident can take years to repair in terms of reputation and customer confidence.
- Operational inefficiency: Manual checks are slow, resource intensive and still prone to human error.
In an environment where threats evolve daily, relying only on manual reviews is like relying on luck. Proactive and automated security is the sustainable path forward.
About CUBE3 and the Integration
CUBE3 is a fraud detection and transaction risk intelligence platform trusted by leading digital asset businesses. It operates across multiple blockchains and provides a comprehensive suite of protection tools, including:
- Real time screening of wallet addresses and smart contracts
- Risk scoring for every transaction based on multiple parameters
- Instant alerts for potential fraud, scams, or other high-risk activity before a transaction is executed and on-chain
Through the integration with Liminal, CUBE3’s screening engine now works at every key transaction point. Across all types of wallets: Mobile MPC, Cold Multisig and Hot Withdrawal Wallets. This includes when an address is added to a whitelist, when a transaction is initiated, and when it is signed for execution.
If a transaction exceeds the defined risk score threshold, it is blocked automatically. This prevents funds from moving to suspicious destinations without slowing down legitimate operations.
How Liminal Vaults Add Insight
The integration of CUBE3 into the Liminal Vault delivers more than just security. It also provides actionable insights that help businesses make better operational decisions.
Clients receive:
- A composite risk score for each transaction
- The ability to set custom thresholds that reflect their unique risk appetite
- Automated governance rules that operate without adding delays
- Complete audit trails that support compliance and post incident investigations
Why This Matters
Fraud prevention is most effective when it is built into the transaction process. Waiting to detect and respond after the fact leaves businesses exposed to losses and reputational damage.
By embedding CUBE3’s capabilities directly into the wallet layer, Liminal has made proactive security the default. The screening works seamlessly in the background, ensuring that every transaction is verified without creating friction for legitimate activity.
“Our clients can now scale securely, knowing every transaction is verified before it moves,” says Chakravarthi Muppalla, Chief Product Officer at Liminal.
This approach reflects a simple truth in digital assets: security is not an optional feature. It is the foundation of trust between a platform and its users. With this integration, the foundation is stronger than ever.
